resists with ten and likes Bosnia to advance to the round of 16
The United States is showing itself to be unstoppable in this World Cup and they are already a team in the round of 16 in their homeland after defeating Bosnia in a very serious match that had everything. The American team resisted and defended wonderfully after playing for half an hour with one less after the expulsion of Baloguna tough loss before Belgium. The Monaco striker had previously scored 1-0 and had another one disallowed. Tillman sentenced with a great goal from a free kick after they annulled the same to Pulisic. Bosnia did not measure up.
“Make America Great Again,” is the political slogan used by donald trump which has now been made its own on the field by an American team that wants to be great with its qualification for the round of 16 of its World Cup. Precisely the American president is expected in that round, since so far he has not come to see the American team live.
Pochettino has managed to turn this United States into a team that plays football very well. It combines well, it is electric, dynamic and has a goal. He has achieved a group of players that excites America with being able to go further than ever in a World.
Bosnia started with the first scare with a very tight corner kick that almost poisoned itself more than necessary. But little else from the European team, who limited themselves to trying not to make mistakes, a complicated aspect, and to defend as close as possible.
The domain was American. From start to finish in the first half. But to the team Pochettino it was difficult for him to hurt a painting Bosnia well folded. Until the failures began to arrive. One ball from the European team led to the first goal of Balogun in the match. But he quickly ruled it out for offside.
Balogun is the smartest in the class
It was the first warning from the Monaco striker. The second it was going to be lethal. Just before the break, in the 44th minute, Balogun put the United States ahead with a clever goal that put the United States ahead on the scoreboard. It all started with a recovery in the middle, a pass filtered by Tillman and another defensive error by Bosnia in the attempt to reject leather. Balogun did not miss his shot and put his country ahead. 1-0.
He who seeks… finds💥

Before reaching injury time, with more than eight minutes of injury time played, Balogun was able to extend his scoring tally with a shot that hit the crossbar after a center Dest. The American striker was on fire.
America wants more
The second half started ambitiously USA. He did not dedicate himself to waiting for a result in his favor, he went for more with very intense pressure in the defective exit of the ball from Bosnia.
Bosnia did not receive good news in the first bars of the second part. His greatest legend, Dzekohe was injured in a race and had to ask for the forced change. He took advantage of his coach, Barbarez to make a triple change that would change the face of his team. Mahmic, Tahirovic and Bajraktarevic inside.
Red to Balogun and the United States stays with 10!
The game changed radically in the 64th minute, at a time when nothing at all was happening. Balogun, the United States’ top scorer and author of the 1-0 lead, was sent off with a direct red card after a VAR review. The referee analyzed on the screen a tackle by the American striker on the ankle of Muharemovic.
Balogun’s action was involuntary in a ball dispute, but it is also true that she was too harsh with the iron of her boot on the Bosnian player’s ankle. It could have hurt him a lot. The European player continued playing, yes, and the Monaco forward left his team with one less.
Bosnia took a step forward after Balogun’s red card, knowing that this was his great opportunity to get into the game, and he tried two shots without much danger to threaten USA.
Another goal disallowed for the United States
Bosnia tried, but without success, without luck and without good play. The United States defended itself like a wall. In fact, in one of his cons, he sought to sentence and found it. But it lasted only a few seconds. Pulisic He scored the second, but the assistant quickly ruled it out for offside. Second goal annulled.
Great goal from Tillman to seal the match
The United States was bitten and went for the second until they found it. He did it Tillman with a great goal from a direct free kick in the 82nd minute. The American team resisted with one less and was happy to seal the match in the final stretch. I wasn’t even suffering from a weak Bosnia.
The United States finished with a very serious match and barely suffered against Bosnia. The selection of Pochettino They are already a team in the round of 16 and will face Belgium in this round. One side of the painting where Spain is. Watch out for the hostess who keeps going.
